There is some really beautiful writing in this show.


Of course it's mixed in with a lot of childish and 'gross' humor which doesn't appeal to me personally but the cringe and awkwardness that comes from public embarrassment is still funny to me.

As a fellow Atheist there was a bit about 'angels' that I thought was a tremendous piece of writing:

I wish I hadn't teased her about there not being an afterlife now because, uh, I think she wanted to believe, deep down, in, like, Heaven and angels and stuff. I hope she wasn't... I hope she wasn't scared.

All she'd have wanted was you with her at the end. Oh, and there are angels by the way. They don't have wings and live in clouds. They wear nurse's uniforms and work hard to pay the rent on their houses. Some work for charities because they can't look the other way. Some have four legs and bark. ( chuckles ) But whatever they look like, they all save lives. Sometimes you bump into them. Like Lisa. And Stan. And you... And you marry them. I know that Lisa and Stan aren't angels now. But they were. If you want to be an angel, you've got to do it when you're alive. Be good. Do good things.


I love that, it's beautiful to me.
